Merlin History
Bringing Dreams to Life since 1989
Merlin Custom Home Builders was founded in 1989. Company Founder, Steve Jones, had decided to build his own custom home and turned to a friend in the construction business. To learn about the process, Steve worked with his friend building custom homes for local clients. When that friend retired, Steve went into business for himself, starting Merlin Contracting and Developing, and developed a reputation in Southern Nevada for doing business on a handshake.
In 1994, Steve’s brother Bart joined the business, making Merlin a family-run company. Bart’s experience running a successful macadamia nut business came in handy in running Merlin’s office and allowed Steve to focus on business in the field. The brothers worked together to grow the company—now known as Merlin Custom Home Builders— and their reputation for excellence. After Bart’s retirement in 2021, Eric Morrison took on an ownership role with Steve and serves as the company’s Chief Operating Officer.
Merlin Custom Home Builders caters to high-end, sophisticated customers who know and demand quality—and that’s exactly what they get from Merlin. Relying on the old-school values and ethics that helped build the firm’s reputation and a commitment to unmatched quality, we are known as the premiere custom home builder in Las Vegas. We specialize in bringing challenging visions and designs to life and pride ourselves on our expertise, attention to detail, and level of service we provide to our clients.
